The coroner and scientist Dr. Warren Chapin is researching the shivering effect of fear with his assistant David Morris. Dr. Warren is introduced to Ollie Higgins, the relative of a criminal sentenced to the electric chair, while making the autopsy of the corpse, and he makes a comment about the tingler-effect to him. Ollie asks for a lift to Dr. Warner, and introduces his deaf-mute wife Martha Higgins, who manages a theater of their own. Dr. Warner returns home, where he lives with his unfaithful and evil wife Isabel Stevens Chapin and her sweet sister Lucy Stevens. Dr. Warner, upset with the situation with his wife, threatens and uses her as a subject of his experiment. When Martha dies of fear, Dr. Warner makes her autopsy and finds a creature that lives inside every human being, feeds with fear and is controlled by the scream. Once Martha was not able to scream, the tingler was not rendered harmless and became enormous. When the living being escapes, Dr. Warner and Ollie chase it in a crowded movie theater.

It's hard to watch a movie like "The Tingler" and not feel cheated that you missed out on all of William Castle's tricks. But this film works surprising well as a straight film. I do wish the film were 20 minutes longer with more details about the two dysfunctional marriages. But regardless, it's a great film that all psychotronic film fans should see.

SPOILER WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Some whacked-out insane scenarios!!!
Like when a man brings his dead wife to Price's house... Price immediately performs an autopsy and takes the tingler out of her body and shows it to the husband. Who calmly stands by with a fishtank to capture the beast.
I don't know about you, but this makes perfect sense to me.
Then when the husand is carrying the props through the house so that we know he is the one who killed her, I get how he did most of his dirty tricks. BUT... how can they explain the hand reaching up from the bathtub?

This is a classic 50's scary movie. If you're into classic horror flicks don't miss this one. Complete with evil-slut wife, state-of-the-art special effects and a double-dose of LSD, really! (I can't remember the last time I had some good old-fashioned blotter... Oh yes I can, it was in the mid-70's. But that's a whole other story)
Vincent Price plays an only slightly mad doctor to perfection. Perfect horror film!

Hands down, a perfect little film. Utterly unique premise and perfectly carried out. It's one of those films which are as good as they can be. It accomplishes exactly what it sets out to do. Wonderful! A true classic.

Subject: Some reseblances to Ridley Scott's Alien
WARNING! This review contains spoilers.
For some reason, a couple of plot elements of this movie remind me of Ridley Scott's movie "Alien". All of those things, like when they remove the "tingler" from the woman's body and it starts moving around attacking people, it all reminds me of when that creature (in "Alien") bursts out of the guy's torso and starts moving around the ship killing people.
A major difference, though, is that there's not as many people dying in "The Tingler" as there is in "Alien". In fact, only two people die in the entire movie. I still think the movie is good, and if the rating scale was 1-10 instead of 1-5 I would give it a 7. However the scale is only 1-5, so I'm giving it a 4.

Its ironic that busy body jobs worth users like video-cellar has actually made it easier to find quality non Public Domain movies on archive.org. Simply clicking on his username brings up all the videos he has been moaning about.
One more thing, He is wrong about the copyright status of Fritz langs M, If german copyright law was applied to everything here, nothing would be in the public domain, lulz

Why are you such a stick in the mud? Do you think Vincent Price would care? Isn't it better people get to see this movie for free and keep Vincent alive forever in the minds and hearts of fans?
Ah well, I'm enjoying watching this. Thanks for the happy memories. I love this movie!
